Annie Duke might not have earned her 1st World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she remains one of the most feared poker players at the ring matches at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue WSOP bracelet came with success at the "cast aside game" of Omaha hi lo.
While competitors from the "younger crowd" of poker go wild after a big win at the tournament, Annie goes home to be "mom" to her 4 kids. Annie grew up in New Hampshire and raised into a family of card competitors. If you do not accept that, watch her brother, Howard Lederer, in action who coached her how to gamble on the game.
However, Annie Duke is no small fry kind of girl and has captured her share of difficult tables, including knocking out Howard a few times along the way. They are both competitors that have the capability to win the huge cash and do it with a grin.
Annie Duke is a tough player at any table because she is a genuine poker player, but it is a bit more than simply being great at the game. Annie Duke is incredibly smart and graduated from Columbia U where she majored in English and Psychology.
When you are seated across from Annie at the table you’ll see Annie Duke is there to compete in the game and she begins "summing" you up as soon as you approach the table. If you can’t play like a winner, then don’t bother.
Acquiring over $3 million in tournament play, Mrs. Duke became a consultant to both UltimateBet.com and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to hone his skills and develop into a power at the poker table.
You may catch a glimpse of her at the Bellagio, you’ll definitely observe Annie on the tv and you might even play against her in a net poker match, but do not count on an easy win. Except of course you’re a camp-in-the-making, you won’t defeat her. Although, it’d be fun to mention you played at the same table as "The Duke".
